My Version of the side quiver

<< < (2/2)

Amnandaoralio:
The passage details the author's hands-on experience building a custom belt-mounted quiver that is:

Small but holds 6 arrows,

Functional with a self bow and day pack,

Easy to maneuver in dense terrain,

A practical upgrade from an earlier prototype.

It highlights the trial-and-error process, creative problem-solving, and the importance of gear customization in traditional bowhunting.

It also highlights the driving spirit behind many of us. The desire to DIY*. Many of us are not happy to buy solutions to every problem. Some of us take that concept so far that we get in over our heads (show of hands how many of us have a project started and it's stalled out because you have no idea what's next). But as we travel this road, the next obstacle is easier to beat because we have sharpened our problem-solving skills as we went along.

Don, That's a good looking and clearly functional quiver. May it quickly suit your needs or teach you what the next version needs to be, both options are a win.

Man, I thought it was just me!

As for the quiver:  Looks great.  I can see the utility of the open-at-the-side quivers, but I've never used one because I'm afraid that it would always be collecting leaves, pine needles, and assorted gunk as I burrow through the brush trying to get closer to prey.

I do use a side quiver, but mine is enclosed.  I just pull an arrow out the back when I need one.  Not as efficient as this design.
